DUAL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

This ceiling fan is supplied with two types of hanging assemblies: the

standard ceiling installation using the downrod with ball and socket

mounting, and the "close-to-ceiling" mounting. The "close-to-ceiling"

mounting is recommended in rooms with less than 8 ft. ceilings or in

areas where additional space is desired from the ﬂoor to the fan blades.

When using the standard downrod installation, the distance from the

ceiling to the bottom of the fan blades will be approximately 12 in. The

"close-to-ceiling" installation reduces the distance from the ceiling to the

bottom of the fan blades to approximately 9 in.

Once you have decided which ceiling installation you will use, refer to the

corresponding sections and procedures during the assembly period.

Where necessary, each section of the instructions will note the different

procedures to follow for the two types of installation.

PREPARING THE TRANSMITTER

The learning process causes any installed fan within range to

memorize a remote control. Fans can learn multiple remotes.

To add a remote to your fan’s memory, use the steps below:

□ Ensure AC power to the fan is OFF to begin the learning

process.

□ Turn the fan’s AC power ON.

□ Within 30 seconds of turning AC power ON, press and hold

for 5 seconds to enter the learning function. Once the fan has

detected the remote control’s frequency, the down light of

your fan, if applicable, will blink twice. There is no indication if

your fan is not equipped with a light.

□ The fan will now accept commands from the added remote.

To clear all other remotes from your fan’s memory, use the steps

below:

□ Ensure AC power to the fan is OFF to begin the learning

process.

□ Turn the fan’s AC power ON.

□ Within 30 seconds of turning AC power ON, Press and hold

frequency.

□ Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.

□ Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade arm to the motor hub are tight.

□ Make sure the wire nut connections are not rattling against each other or the interior wall of the switch

housing.

□ Allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period. Most noises associated with a new fan disappear during this

time.

□ If using the ceiling light kit, make sure the screws securing are tight. Check that the light bulb is also

secure.

□ Make sure there is a short distance from the ceiling to the canopy. It should not touch the ceiling.

□ Make sure your ceiling box is secure and that rubber isolator pads are used between the mounting

bracket and outlet box.

The fan will not start.

The fan sounds noisy.

Troubleshooting (continued)

Problem

Solution

□ Do not connect the fan with wall mounted variable speed control(s).

□ Make sure the frequency switches are set correctly.

The fan wobbles.

The remote control is

not working.

□

Verify that all blades and blade bracket screws are secure (most fan wobble problems are caused by

loose parts). Once the fan is properly installed, run the ceiling fan for 10 minutes to let the fan

self-adjust.

If wobble occurs after running the fan for 10 minutes, verify blade level using the following process:

- Select a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the blades, then select any fan blade and

measure from the center of the selected blade to the point on the ceiling. Rotate the fan until the next

blade is positioned and repeat the measurement using the same point from the ceiling for every blade.

Measurement deviations should be within 1/8 in..

- If all deviations are less than 1/8 in. and the fan continues to wobble, please call Customer Service

(1-800-986-3460) to order a complimentary Blade Balancing Kit.

- If deviation is greater than 1/8 in. , please call Customer Service (1-800-986-3460) to order

complimentary replacements of your brackets.

□ This unit is equipped with a wattage limiting device. Lamping in excess of 75 watts will disable your

ceiling fan's light kit. To reset your light kit, you must turn the power off and relamp, keeping the

wattage under 75 watts. Restore power to your ceiling fan and continue normal operation.

Lights shut off and will

not come back on.
